The guide to understanding photovoltaic panels
Solar energy, a sustainable and infinite energy source, has become a key player in the global energy transition. At the heart of this revolution are photovoltaic panels. Evocells provides you with a guide to understanding photovoltaic panels.
These clever devices transform sunlight into usable electricity for our homes and businesses. At Evocells, we strive to make this technology accessible to everyone.
The aim of this guide is to help you better understand how photovoltaic panels work. Moreover, discover the benefits they can bring to you and the environment.
Photovoltaic panels, composed of solar cells, transform sunlight into electricity. Each cell is made up of a thin layer of semi-conductive material, which generates an electric voltage when exposed to light. The electricity produced is then converted to be used in our homes and businesses.
There are three main types of photovoltaic panels: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film panels. Monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels are composed of crystalline silicon cells.
Monocrystalline panels are generally more efficient, but also more expensive. Thin-film panels, on the other hand, use a variety of materials and are often more affordable and flexible, but less efficient.
Opting for solar energy allows you to reduce your carbon footprint and make substantial savings on your electricity bill. Moreover, with government aids and innovative financing options, the installation of solar panels has become more affordable than ever.
